School for Violin Technics – Henry Schradieck | Complete Books 1-3 and Scale Studies | Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics: Schirmer Library of Classics Volume 2090

Schradieck is "industry standard" violin instruction. Highly recommended. A little tedious to go through, but it teaches you about better, more relaxed left-hand positioning which is of course totally essential for improving skill. I find the chromatic scales particularly useful, and also introducing the higher finger positons (4th, 5th, 7th etc).

I am professional violinist, and i recommend the schradieck school to any who want to improve: confidence of finger technique reaction ( both for fast playing and fast note reading ) The quality of notes are much better than the one from imslp.

The studies are very catchy and interesting

Fabulous if you want to torture yourself in this manner. Seriously, I do enjoy this stuff, it's a great book....

5 star for the book - my son is taught by Suzuki method, but I hire him teachers outside Suzuki during the school holidays. One of the teachers recommended Schradiek to help relax his left hand, which he hated then. A year later, whilst practicing Can Can as part of his chamber orchestra at school, he asked me to buy him Schradiek as he understood how much it helped him in past. Bingo! 3 star for delivery though - it was packed in unnecessarily large box, and despite all the protective layers the book still came bent.

Delivered quickly and just what I need

a classic , you cant go wrong....although tedious and trying at times ( but aim an amateur!)

Amazing even for starters/beginners

Muy recomendable para ejercitar los dedos y buen uso del arco.

Since the time I have incorporated the studies into my practice routine (has been around 6 months now), I have noticed a major improvement in my intonation and left-hand dexterity. The exercises have to be practised very slowly in the beginning. It requires some patience but the payoff is worth it. I do not see why this should not be a part of the practice routine of any serious violin learner. No complaints with the binding or the print.

Sehr umfangreich 🎻 Durfte erst nach 9 Monaten Unterricht, mit diesem Buch beginnen.

Top, chegou no prazo certinho!!

This is exactly the book you need to improve your techniques!
